The speculation I've seen, that feels right in my gut, is that everything before the DV allegations is why he has basically been severed from the show post-season 3 other than the voice acting, but the DV allegations are what allowed Hulu and AS to cleanly sever ties entirely. Both from a legal/contract perspective as well as a PR 'Cancel culture gone crazy' perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck. I looked that up. Ditch this guy. I like both shows but get rid of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastletonSnob Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Justin Roiland's behavior is, to quote Lemongrab: UNACCEPTABLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Imaging sucking this badly. Inside the Implosion of Justin Roiland’s Animation Empire WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM To legions of ‘Rick and Morty’ fans, co-creator Roiland was a quirky genius whose career was suddenly derailed by allegations of domestic violence. But to colleagues, his behavior has been troubling for years. Quote He direct-messaged former Mad magazine editor Allie Goertz, a longtime fan who was prepping a Rick and Morty concept album: “Can you write a song about 9 Dick’s of different sized and ethnic origins hanging above your face, and then in the lyrics describe how they each splatter you with semen.” He allegedly messaged another woman, who posted the exchange using an anonymous Twitter account and claimed to have been underage when they began corresponding, “You should just run away from home and go into sex slavery YOU FUCKING STUPID FAGGOT BITCH (!!!) (Jk).” Quote At some point during the third season of Rick and Morty, multiple sources say Roiland simply stopped showing up — and when he did turn up in the Burbank offices, he’d typically avoid the writers room. In fact, Roiland’s colleagues often knew he was there only because they could hear his dogs. Or they’d hear his remote-control toy car, which had a microphone on top of it, zooming around the office. At least once, Roiland sent it into the writers room, says a source. “You wouldn’t have seen him in weeks, and then you’d see the car come in, which was insane.” Quote Old interviews that Roiland had done were suddenly being resurfaced, too. Back in 2011, appearing on a podcast, he joked that he would be attracted to “a fucking 14-year-old that looks like she’s 18 and [has] big titties” and riffed on Dateline NBC‘s “To Catch a Predator” segments. (In the same breath, he added, “I’m not a pedophile though.”) His work, which has long made comedy hay of subjects like incest and sexual deviance, was now being viewed through a different lens.

Greatoneshere Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Yeah apparently Roiland hasn't even been seen in the Rick and Morty writers' room since season 3 ended, which tracks with the significant changes in the writers' room after that season.

stepee Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Seeing his sense of “humor” it must have been a nightmare in the writing room in those first three seasons what a fucking chud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty disturbing there's someone who isn't Roiland who thought that was a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheShader Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 The rumors prior to all of this were that he was kicked out of the writer's room due to his behavior, but from the information coming out it seems like once he thought he was untouchable he simply stopped showing up for work. Or at least in a capacity to do work. He seemed to love showing up when it meant he got to hang out with celebrities that only hung out to have a hookup to checking out Williams Street.
